The fastest approach we offer is the Career Review . This is designed to provide a steady, structured yet clear starting point for all manner of productive career discussions. With both you and us learning more about your career (in far more depth than a CV would offer and with both of us well prepared) any career discussion is increased in its effectiveness many fold. The Review takes a couple of weeks to complete and we strongly recommend taking this approach as it ensures we are well informed about you before offering support on ways forwards.

Please note that short term careers advice and career crisis management support is offered only via prebooked telephone appointment and that this is notcareer guidance.
